The one thing about 'Beautiful Creatures,' 'The Host' and 'The Mortal Instruments,' which are all well-made movies, is that they were all infected with a dreadful sincerity.
From Mark Waters
When I'm directing actors, I often find myself slipping in sports metaphors, like: 'Don't go for the punch line here, just put it up on a T-ball stand so she can hit it out of the park.'
In college, I stopped doing pre-med and went into theater, and then I moved to San Francisco and lived there for five years.
When I'm in the middle of making a movie, I have blinders on; it's all about just getting the movie out.
Frankenstein's actually interesting; he's kind of like a zombie.
If you look at the least effective of the 'Twilight' movies, it was when they brought in an action-movie director instead of a director who was really a good storyteller. And you can tell the difference.
My first inkling that I might have a yen for directing came when I realized I enjoyed creating plays for my various sports teams more than I actually liked playing the game.
A lot of first-time filmmakers are almost apologizing for their movie by saying, 'Well, we only had 18 days to shoot, you know.'
Most adaptations of plays I hate, because they don't envision something as cinema at all, you know?
I find women much more interesting than dudes.
